thank you, fair for us to be using up all of our time in advance. mr. president, this morning a number of republican senators stated that they would support the current filibuster of this bill because they were afraid that if we take up this bill, we're going to have a closed process that would limit their ability to offer amendments. now, the majority leader has addressed this issue. he specifically said last thursday that he's willing to work with republicans on a process that will permit the senate to consider these matters and complete the bill as soon as possible. he's very clear on this thing. he is not trying to prevent other amendments from being offered. however, mr. president, there aren't going to be any amendments -- there's not going to be any opportunity too vote on any amendments unless we get 60 votes to overcome the current fibilityd and proceed to the bill. -- the current filibuster and proceed to the bill. it makes no sense for senators to block all amendments, which is what the effect will be if we don't end this filibuster, to deny

we can't have that debate because you refuse to give us information. some of us may disagree. my friend from south carolina, texas, they all might disagree and think it should be shut down or not, but we can't have that debate because you refuse to give us evidence. the pentagon has woven a tapestry of silence that's deaf energy together the sounds of liberty itself. the end doesn't justify the means. you've had 11 years of testimony out in the public and written analysis to look at for joint forces and joibt forces command, and you've had 90 days of back room and when you talk about meetings it could be two people talking with each other and talk about the 30 meetings but you refuse to give us one bit of the evidence and when you come in here and your blending apples and oranges and say it us no business case it was the business board we all first heard about the closure so that's making military policy. not business decisions and then on the first briefings that you came in you said you didn't know what the cost savings were. shouldn't you have at least looked at those befor

many of us, perhaps most of us are going to be going then to arlington for senator stevens funeral which i think the buses leave at 12:15. we want everybody to have some time here this morning so we're going to have to have a short first round. but then i will come back and whoever else can come back after the second vote, assuming there is one, so there is likely to be a gap here between somewhere around 11:40 and 12:15. we're also going to have a vote off the floor on a number of matters that are pending before the committee. that will be at the end of the first vote. ok. so i hope everybody will help out on having that off the floor vote but at the end of the first vote this morning in the senate. so let's have a short first round here so everybody will have at least some opportunity, including all those who will be going to the funeral. so we'll just have a five-minute round here. and if there's not enough time for everybody, then perhaps we can yield to each other to accommodate that goal. let me start with you, secretary lind. too often in the past we constrained a number of d.o.d.
